If the avatar pic is you - not terrible - as lean and probably as big as most natural guys know how to get.. But just because you have an aversion to AAS dont go look like a jealous bitch and badmouth the larger guys.. If you need some advice on getting bigger and a little leaner send me a PM -- no charge.. I won my first NPC show totally natural -- just wanted to move up to the heavies and eventually supers so had to dabble a little... You wouldn't believe how little it takes with proper genetics so won't go there but I can help you gain a physique you could at least be proud of instead of that my man...
I agree with you, on making gains with small amounts after a solid natural foundation base.
I also competed and did just fine without any juice in regional NPC shows in my wt class.
The reality is , the vast majority of hardcore bodybuilders use AAS and many use extreme amounts.
So, it's no wonder that plenty of young bucks think drugs are very important in getting bigger and stronger.
To me it's similar to the modern bench shirts , competitive benchers now use.
These super-fiber shirts allow the top guys to bench 200-300 more lbs then they can without one.
They can get quite defensive about it too.
They often go on and on about how heavy the wt is and how you have to train hard and work with the shirt to learn the technique, etc.
